19 Flattering Bob Hairstyles for Round Faces

Question: The last time you looked in the mirror and stared at your round face, did you ever think about what the benefits were that came with having it? There actually are some. For one thing, it’s one of the most versatile in the sense that you can wear all kinds of hairstyles. Secondly, round faces are considered to be extremely youthful—a good thing to keep in mind as you age.

So, if you fit into the round face category, chin up! You already have a lot going for you…

Now all you need is a great hairstyle. Hmm…maybe a bob perhaps?

For a while now, we’ve been really found of hair that is cut with a razor. It seems to bring about a kind of definition that can’t be found with sheers. This inverted bob proves it. Although her hair is really straight and thick, the razor still gives the illusion that there are many layers…even though there are few and most of them are pretty long.

Oh, one more tip: keep the front of your hair longer than the rest for a bit of an even more dramatic effect.
